Vodka Sauce Revisited

Developed by Lorenzo Boni, Executive Chef for Barilla Americas, the Al Bronzo Penne alla Vodka proves that a familiar favorite still has room to surprise. Vodka sauce continues to enjoy a renaissance on restaurant menus, with chefs putting signature spins on the creamy tomato classic. Boni, however, demonstrates that exceptional execution can be just as compelling as reinvention.

“The sauce preparation here is pretty classic,” says Boni. “It’s the Al Bronzo pasta that elevates it. The balance of richness, heat from the vodka and chiles, sweetness and acid from the tomatoes finds a toothy foundation in the bronze-die pasta here, and the pasta water that emulsifies it.”
